Oh, I'm not disagreeing that they're a bunch of bastards who treat employees poorly. I know far too many of them to think they're even approaching sweetness and light status. I very nearly worked on the administrative end of things there, but was not terribly impressed with who/what I would have had to work with.

I do hope the market is picking up enough for the people you know to find work soon. It's difficult to predict what will happen with the IT industry.

I just find the Akamai/MS team-up amusing...
